Genesis 50
1 And Joseph fell upon the face of his father, and wept upon him and kissed him.
Awo Yusufu n’agwa mu maaso ga kitaawe n’akaaba, n’amunywegera.
2 Then Joseph commanded his servants the physicians, to embalm his father, —so the physicians embalmed Israel.
Yusufu n’alagira abaweereza be abasawo, okukalirira omulambo gwa kitaawe. Bwe batyo abasawo ne bakalirira omulambo gwa Isirayiri;
3 And they fulfilled for him forty days, for so, are they wont to fulfil the days of the embalmed, —and the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.
baali beetaaga ennaku amakumi ana okukoleramu ekyo. Ezo ze nnaku ezakaliririrwangamu emirambo. Abamisiri ne bakungubagira Yakobo okumala ennaku nsanvu.
4 And, when the days of weeping for him were passed, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh saying, —If I pray you, I have found favour in your eyes, speak ye I pray you in the ears of Pharaoh saying:
Awo ennaku ez’okukungubagiramu Yakobo bwe zaggwaako, Yusufu n’ayogera n’ennyumba ya Falaawo, n’agamba nti, “Obanga ndabye ekisa mu maaso gammwe munjogerereyo ewa Falaawo. Mumugambe nti,
5 My father, made me swear saying, —Lo! I, am about to die, —in my grave which I digged for myself in the land of Canaan, there, shalt thou bury me. Now, therefore, let me go up, I pray thee and bury my father, and return.
‘Kitange yandayiza ng’agamba nti, “Nnaatera okufa; mu ntaana yange gye nesimira mu nsi ya Kanani, omwo mw’onziikanga.” Kale kaakano mbasaba mundeke ŋŋende nziike kitange; oluvannyuma nkomewo.’”
6 And Pharaoh said, —Go up., and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.
Falaawo n’addamu nti, “Genda oziike kitaawo nga bwe yakulayiza.”
7 So Joseph went up. to bury his father, —and there went up with him all the servants of Pharaoh the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt;
Awo Yusufu n’ayambuka wamu n’abaweereza ba Falaawo bonna, n’abakulu b’ennyumba ye, n’abakulu ba Misiri bonna,
8 and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and the house of his father, —only their little ones and their flocks and their herds, left they. in the land of Goshen.
n’ab’ennyumba ya Yusufu, ne baganda be, n’ab’ennyumba ya kitaawe. Abaana bokka be baasigala mu Goseni n’ebisibo byabwe n’amagana gaabwe.
9 And there went up with him, both chariots and horsemen, —so it came to pass that, the company, was exceeding great,
N’agenda n’amagaali n’abeebagala embalaasi era ekibiina kyali kinene nnyo.
10 And they came in, as far as the threshing-floor of the Buckthorn, which is beyond the Jordan, then wailed they there—an exceeding great and grievous wailing, —and he made for his father a mourning, of seven days.
Bwe baatuuka ku gguuliro lya Atadi ng’osomose Yoludaani, ne bakungubaga okukungubaga okutagambika okujjudde ennaku; Yusufu n’akungubagira kitaawe okumala ennaku musanvu.
11 And when the dwellers in the land—the Canaanites—saw the mourning in the threshing-floor of the Buckthorn, they said, —A grievous mourning, this! for the Egyptians. For this cause, was the name thereof called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
Abantu ab’omu nsi, Abakanani, bwe baalaba okukungubaga mu gguuliro lya Atadi ne bagamba nti, “Okukungubaga kuno kwa ntiisa eri Abamisiri.” Ekifo ekyo kyekyava kiyitibwa Aberumizirayimu, ekiri emitala wa Yoludaani.
12 And his sons did for him thus as he had commanded them;
Bwe batyo batabani ba Yakobo ne bakola nga bwe yabalagira.
13 so his sons carried him to the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, —which Abraham bought—with the field—for a possession of a buryingplace from Ephron the Hittite over against Mamre.
Baamwetikka ne bamutuusa mu Kanani, ne bamuziika mu mpuku eyali mu nnimiro ya Makupeera, okumpi ne Mamule, Ibulayimu gye yagula okuva ku Efulooni Omukiiti, aziikengamu abantu be.
14 Then Joseph returned to Egypt he and his brethren and all who had been up with him to bury his father, —after he had buried his father.
Yusufu bwe yamala okuziika kitaawe n’addayo e Misiri wamu ne baganda be ne bonna abaayambuka naye okuziika kitaawe.
15 Now when the brethren of Joseph saw that their father was dead, they said—Oh! if Joseph should lie in wait for us, —and should return, to us, all the evil wherewith we requited him!
Baganda ba Yusufu bwe baalaba nga kitaabwe afudde, ne bagamba nti, “Osanga Yusufu ajja kutukyawa yeesasuze olw’ebibi byonna bye twamukola.”
16 So they sent in charge unto Joseph saying, —Thy father, gave command before he died saying:
Kyebaava bamutumira nga bagamba nti, “Kitaawo bwe yali tannafa yatulagira nti
17 Thus, shall ye say to Joseph—Ah now! do forgive we pray thee the transgression of thy brethren and their sin in that with evil, they requited thee. Now, therefore grant forgiveness we pray thee, for the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father! And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
tugambanga Yusufu nti, ‘Nkusaba osonyiwe baganda bo bye bakusobya n’ekibi kyabwe, kubanga baasobya nnyo gy’oli.’ Kale nno kaakano tukusaba osonyiwe okusobya kw’abaweereza ba Katonda wa kitaawo.” Yusufu bwe baakimugamba n’akaaba.
18 Then went his brethren also, and fell down before him, —and said, Behold us! thine for servants.
Baganda be ne bagenda gy’ali ne beeyala mu maaso ge ne bagamba nti, “Laba, tuli baddu bo.”
19 And Joseph said unto them—Do not fear, —although in place of God, I am.
Naye Yusufu n’abagamba nti, “Temutya, nze ndi mu kifo kya Katonda?
20 Ye, indeed, planned against me, evil, —God, planned it, for good, for the sake of doing, as at this day, to save alive much people.
Mwagenderera okunnumya, naye Katonda n’akifuula ekirungi, n’akikozesa abantu baleme okufa.
21 Now, therefore do not fear! I will nourish you and your little ones. Thus he consoled them, and spake unto their heart.
Noolwekyo temutya, nzija kubaliisa mmwe n’abaana bammwe.” Bw’atyo n’abagumya n’abazaamu amaanyi.
22 And Joseph abode in Egypt, he, and his father’s house, —and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
Awo Yusufu n’abeera mu Misiri, ye n’ennyumba ya kitaawe. N’awangaala emyaka kikumi mu kkumi.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim’s, sons of three generations—moreover the sons of Machir, son of Manasseh, were born upon Joseph’s knees.
N’alaba abaana ba Efulayimu, abazzukulu ab’omugigi ogwokusatu. Era n’alaba n’aba Makiri mutabani wa Manase abaazaalirwa ku maviivi ga Yusufu.
24 Then said Joseph unto his brethren, I, am about to die, —but God will surely concern, himself for you, so will he take you up out of this land, into the land which he sware to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob.
Yusufu n’agamba baganda be nti, “Nnaatera okufa, naye Katonda alibakyalira n’abalinnyisa okubaggya mu nsi eno; n’abatwala mu nsi gye yalayirira Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka ne Yakobo.”
25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear saying, —God will, surely concern, himself for you, So shall ye carry up my bones, from hence.
Awo Yusufu n’alayiza abaana ba Isirayiri ng’agamba nti, “Katonda alibakyalira, nammwe mulinyisanga amagumba gange okugaggya wano.”
26 So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old, —and they embalmed him, and put him in a coffin in Egypt.
Bw’atyo Yusufu n’afa, ng’alina emyaka kikumi mu kkumi; ne bakalirira omulambo gwe n’ateekebwa mu ssanduuko mu Misiri.
